Driving Miss Daisy – live theatre
August 25, 2010
Times:8:00pm – 10:00pm
Live professional theatre returns to Meaford when Driving Miss Daisy rolls into town this August! Starring Michael Learned of The Waltons fame, Driving Miss Daisy is a moving story of friendship told with humour, warmth and beauty. Daisy Werthan, an independent, aging widow – disagreeable, and set in her ways – reluctantly surrenders the driver’s seat to Hoke Coleburn, a proud, soft-spoken black man. Over the course of 25 years, Hoke becomes not only her chauffeur, but against all odds, her best friend. The Grey-Bruce Arts Collective and the Meaford Hall and Culture Foundation are proud to present this smash hit comedy direct from the Starbright Summer Festival.
Driving Miss Daisy runs at Meaford Hall from August 25 to 28 at 8pm, with a 2pm matinee August 28.
